The ruling New Patriotic Party's flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has promised to uphold a superior level of accountability to the Ghanaian people compared to his main opponent, John Mahama.

Dr. Bawumia argued that Mr. Mahama would not be as accountable since he would not seek re-election, whereas he, as a first-time presidential candidate, expressed his dedication to being more accountable if elected, citing the opportunity to seek re-election and face the electorate again.

“Apart from my proven track record as vice-president, hard work, credibility and vision for the future of Ghana, another reason I should be voted for is that I will be more accountable to the people of Ghana than John Mahama.

“As president, I will be more accountable because I will have another opportunity to seek the people's mandate after 2024. Mahama has just one term and will not come back to Ghanaians to seek re-elections so he will not be accountable,” Dr Bawumia said.

He further emphasised his commitment to accountability by highlighting that as president, he would have another chance to seek the people's mandate after 2024, unlike Mahama who only has one term.

Dr. Bawumia stressed the significance of electing a leader with credibility and a proven record in addressing challenges and fighting corruption, asserting his candidacy as a problem solver and a staunch advocate against corruption based on his policies as Vice President.

“Ghana needs problem solvers, generational thinkers and people with innovative ideas.

“I am a problem solver and a generational thinker with innovative ideas. I have a solid track record as vice-president to prove it,” he added.
